BRATTLE EXPANDS SECURITIES LITIGATION PRACTICE

Recent developments at the Supreme Court are changing the landscape for securities litigation. For instance, the 2013 Amgen opinion leaves open the possibility that it may in the future reconsider the fraud-on-the-market presumption of reliance. Such developments will pose challenges to plaintiffs and defendants alike.

To meet these challenges, Brattle has expanded its securities litigation team with the addition of principals Paul Hinton in New York and Torben Voetmann in San Francisco.
